ebrew
translation is always an issue for the English-speaking Jew. There have
been many methods used to help us appreciate the ancient prayers,
and here presented is yet another. This method is unique because it attempts
to give the reader a basic understanding of the Hebrew language at the
same time that the prayers are spoken and understood.

With
these pages, you can speak Hebrew without knowing how to read Hebrew, and
understand what you are saying. Speaking from experience,
there is nothing like saying the prayers in Hebrew and understanding every
word as you say it. I hope so much that it works for you.

Please note: Since the Hebrew characters with "nikud" (punctuation)
and the necessary formatting cannot be presented in ordinary Web pages,
many
of
this site's pages are available only in PDF format.
